PRTG

Stay on top of your network health wherever you are

PRTG is a powerful companion for administrators who rely on PRTG Network Monitor and want live insight into their infrastructure at any time. Instead of being tied to a desk, you can quickly check sensor states, acknowledge alarms, and react to issues as soon as they arise.

The interface focuses on clarity rather than eye candy. Your familiar PRTG hierarchy is preserved: probes, groups, devices, sensors, and channels are all accessible, even across multiple PRTG instances. Navigation is fast and logical, with filterable lists and drill‑down views that make it easy to move from a high‑level overview to a problematic sensor in just a few taps.

Where PRTG really shines is in its alerting and control features. Status bar notifications ensure you do not miss critical alarms, and from there you can pause sensors, acknowledge issues, or trigger an immediate rescan. Device auto‑discovery can also be launched remotely, which is especially handy when new hardware comes online and you are not on site.

Thoughtful touches round out the experience. QR code scanning lets you jump straight to a sensor from a label in the server room, ideal for larger environments. Home screen widgets offer at‑a‑glance views of key sensors without opening the app. Built‑in network tools such as ping, traceroute, and DNS lookup are available even without a connected PRTG server, making the toolset useful for quick diagnostics in the field.

There are some caveats: you need a PRTG Network Monitor installation (14.1 or later) that is reachable from your device’s network, and the interface is clearly aimed at existing PRTG users rather than newcomers. For administrators already invested in PRTG, however, this is an indispensable extension that brings meaningful, real‑time control to your pocket.
